Ohohoho~*!
Yeah. FAQ. 8D

Not that I really have a reason for making an FAQ journal. xD;;
Oh well... but I can~. *nyahaha* >:3
Please excuse the stupid journal pic... it seems so sarcastic, but it's only meant nice. xD;;;
Mhm. Those questions/remarks are in no particular literal quotes. x3
(oh and.. Questions may be added or removed)


[ update : dec/2008 ]

i noticed the answers in this are quite old. so i made an update.



♦ · what kind of paper do you use? ·
→ the paper i use is called Hahnemühle Skizzenpapier Nostalgie. as you may notice it's from a german brand. ¦D;;
it's a bit thick and has a 'smooth' surface. so it's nice to use for both drawing and painting.
i might as well use just random cheap paper that has no specific brand name. whatever satisfies my needs. 8D

♦ · how do you do your lineart? ·
→ i mostly use ballpoint pen for lineart. occasionally i also use copic fineliners or just regular fineliners.

♣ · how do you do your bgs? ·
→ i use water colour mostly for my bgs, because it's quick and easy. how i do them, i can not really tell. i just do them. xD;; but they consist mainly of random splashes anyway...
·· how do you your splashes? \\ why are your splashes so controlled?
→ uhmm... i just... splash. 8D;; as for control: i use my hand as a cover for the parts that shouldn't be touched by colour. also it depends on the brush size. »» the smaller the brush, the smaller the splashes. 8D;;

♦ · any tips for water colouring? ·
→ i suggest you have a look at the tutorial i made. there should be quite a bunch of information covered. if there are still questions, you can always ask me of course. just drop by with a comment or note. but please make sure your question really remained unanswered. ^^ ;;


♠ · how do you number your pics? \\ your pics have numbers in the name, why?
→ the numbers that are occasionally in front of my pics have to do with the 100 words challenge.
i have already given up on that challenge and removed a great part of the numbered pictures from my gallery by now actually.


♥ · i thought this was a photo!! D: ·
→ oh wow. thank you~. *blushes*
that comment actually means a lot to me, because i put a lot of effort into the portraits I make. :3 but you can be relieved, i don't submit photos here.
i think by now the exact work of my photorealism is degrading. so this comment won't occur anymore, i guess. xD;;

♣ · why are you so gooood~? ·
→ oh yes, i know, i'm awesome!! *strikes a pose*
..... *laughs*... xD;;;;;
seriously. i don't consider myself good at all. ¬3¬ there are so many amazing artists out there. in the world, on the internet overall and of course on dA. i feel more than just inferior to them. D:
but thank you a lot. <3


♦ · i want that shirt/tie!! ·
→ Oh cool. i'm open for commissions, you know! 8D eeeto. strike that. i'm not doing those at the moment. ¦D;;;;
·· but i don't have any money.
→ i am poor too~! イエイ! let's have a hobo party~!! *O* i'll even bring some muffins. 8D;;

♦ · what paint do you use for your t-shirts? ·
→ i use special fabric paint, that's actually thought to be used on silk. :'D;;
i also use acrylics sometimes and black ink to darken colours.
but i won't say more. hoho~! >¦D;;;


♠ · do you wanna trade? ·
→ oh man. that's a tough question actually. ^^ ;; i love when people ask me, because i feel appreciated, but please do not expect a "yes" so easily. i put sweat, tears and blood into my parts of trades, because i want them to look good. :3 So... i prefer trading with friends and people i know of that they put a lot of effort in their works as well. and sometimes i just don't have the time for a trade, i'm sorry. ^^ ;;
at the time being, i make trade deals on my own account only. except for a friend asks me, of course.

♦ · do you wanna be my friend? ·
→ ohoho!! of course!! 8D
just don't go stalking me plz. ·-·''
... or spamming me. ·-·''''
that's nothing i appreciate...

♥ · how do you do CSS? ·
→ ...why do people ask me that? .___.''
well. if you really have no clue about doing CSS, even after reading the several tutorials on dA, then it still is not much use asking me. ¦D;;
i'm no expert at CSS at all!! i only know the basic codes...

♣ · you make so many polls! ·
→ yup, i get bored easily, great you noticed. 8D;;


♥ · how many/what languages do you speak? ·
→ hoshi~*. well, i speak german and english fluently.... or what you can call fluently. ¦D;;;
i speak a bit of spanish and japanese too.
i understand a good part of written dutch and norwegian, but that's about it. i don't think the few words and phrases i know in any other language count. xD;;;

♦ · are your pictures self portraits/i thought this was a self portrait? ·
→ uhm··· no, i'm not miyavi. ˘³˘'''
♦ · who is miyavi? ·
→ mr. google is a very wise friend. 8D


♥ · can i save your pictures in my files? ·
→ mhm. i can't forbid you that. xD
as long as you only use them privately and don't use them anywhere without my permission, it's okay of course.



Lalalaaa~*!
